JEWELRY CARE

Our jewelry is made of recycled metals like brass and silver. Many people buy brass jewelry because it is inexpensive, however it commonly discolors skin and even tarnishes. When a ring turns your finger green, it's either because of a chemical reaction between acids in your skin and the metal of the ring, humidity, skin oils and sweat moisture. Some people apply a polymer coating to their rings to act as a barrier between their skin and the metal of the ring. Nail clear polish is one option. Be aware that you'll need to reapply the coating from time to time since it will wear away. When washing hands please remove or dry your metals after. Remove your rings before bathing or swimming, especially in saltwater.

Please understand that this has nothing to do with the quality of our products, and that is just the nature of the metal. We offer gold plated and silver pieces as another option other than brass.

If you wish for your pieces to remain bright, the best way is to keep them in a sealed bag when they are not being worn and to not mix them with other metals. To brighten oxidized silver or brass jewelry use a polishing cloth impregnated with a cleaning product. My recommendation is to use MAAS metal polish. Do not use jewelry cleaner on plated items; you can clean these pieces with a damp cloth.
